Studies suggest that not only are potato chips unhealthy, but they could be carcinogenic (cancer-causing!) You might be thinking “what else is new?” or “I eat baked, not fried, which is healthier…” But you would be mistaken.

Studies suggest that even “healthier” baked potato chips are dangerous! In fact, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) data on acrylamide levels in foods, baked chips may contain more than three times the level of acrylamide as regular chips! Acrylamides are chemicals suspected of causing cancer, formed when carbohydrates, such as those in potatoes, cook at extremely high temperatures. Baked chips are very high in acrylamides. 

The take-away from this in my mind is to avoid processed goods whenever possible. The occasional treat is fine but “everything in moderation”. Avoid snacking on this junk whenever possible. Choose natural, fresh produce and prepare it yourself! Get creative! =)

For more on this, I found a pretty good article below that explains more in detail. But you can also google it for additional websites!
